The purpose of this study was to obtain information on factors related to the consistently good performances of the University of Cape Coast (UCCs) cross country teams from 2002 - 2008. The population of the study was made up of students and staff of UCC while the accessible population was sports administrators, coaches, cross country athletes and sportsmen and women in other sporting disciplines. Two hundred and fifty respondents were purposely selected for the study. Sports administrators, coaches, cross country athletes and athletes in other sporting disciplines who were present within the period 2002 - 2008 were used for the study. The questionnaire was used for data collection. Frequencies, percentages and means were used to analyze the data. The results of the study portrayed that, the factors related to the consistently good performances of UCCs cross country teams were motivation (both intrinsic and extrinsic) recruitment and selection, technical attachment to the teams, sponsorship, facilities and equipment, financial support and other administrative policies and leadership employed by various leaders. It was recommended that the university should make more sponsorship packages available and increase allowances and other external rewards for university sportsmen and women.
